"HERE go by the rule OF contrary"
is very poor way OF proceeding in leg
islative matters. The idea that IL Is
policy to oppose certain measures simp-
ly because they are advocated In certain
quarters is supreme folly. The New
York Herald's idea, that Jay Gould's
opposition 10 the Interstate commerce
bill has done much towards furthering
the passage OF that measure, 10 a very
equivocal compliment to the intelligence
Of congress. 1t is pretty near time for
us as a people to have some true con-
ception OF the requirements OF our leg
islators. Men are elected and sent to
our state and national houses OF leglsla-
ton to make laws for the people,
who have not the remotest conception
OF law making. They do not under
stand the relations that individuals sus-
tain to themselves or to other indiVid-
uals, nor do they seem to know that
knowledge and understanding OF such
relations is necessary to all Legislation.
The man who cannot formulate law
for his own government is too ignorant
to formulate a law for the government
Of any one else. And yet, our legisla-
lures are practically farmed out to men
nine-tenths OF whom have no concep-
ton of the true relations which should
exist in societies, governing them, and
far hi,h unuarp a w are snnDOs-
ed to be enacted. The men who have
not seriously considered their own rela-
lions are not very likely to have spent
much time upon the consideration OF
the relations of others. just laws can
only arise from just sense OF relation,
and where such sense is not, just laws
cannot originate. There is no doubt
that legislation accepted as wise, neces-
sary and just by the individual legisla-
tor, is often defeated by him, contrary
to his better judgment,at the demand OF
a so-called political necessity. II is not
necessary to denounOe such action as
legislative fraud. The public sense
would condemn it on sight II 1t ever
considered the matter worth its consid-
GRAFTON. Judging, however, from the
ease with which men gain places for
which they have not the semb!ance
Of a qualification, 1t Is an open question
If the public cares sufficiently for the
outcome Of any Legislation, not immedi-
ately affecting its pocket, to even take n
second thought concerning 1t. The
making Of laws is one Of the great farces
OF this generation. Many men, by
no means stupid, gravely question
If society does not lose moe than 1t
gains by legislation A tax upon law
making is more needed than upon pro-
duction. II our present legislature
would abolish nine .tenths of our laws
and revise the rest, the state would
doubtless gain thereby.
